14 Claims.

K This invention relates to ash receivers of the tilting type, which may be mounted at an opening in the vertical instrument panel of an automobile at the front of the driving compartment. VOf course, the ash receiver may be -mounted at other places not only in an automobile but upon any thin vertical support which has an opening for the reception of the receiver whereby when moved to closed position it is entirely concealed, but which may be tilted outwardly for the reception of ashes, cigarette and cigar stubs and other refuse.

It is an object and purpose of the presentV invention to provide an ash receiver which will be firmly yet yieldably held Vatr both its inner closed and outer tilted position, which will not rattle or make other undesired noises because of vibration of the automobile body when it is being driven over the road, and which will not accidentally or inadvertently become detached from theinstrument panel or other support on which it is mounted, but which can be detached therefrom when desired for dumping the contents of the receptacle as required from time to time.

The invention may be understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a central vertical section from front to rear of one embodiment or form of our inven- .j

tion.

f Fig. 2 is a vertical section substantially on the plane of the broken line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 10 is a vertical section similar to Figs. 1, 6 and 8 of a still further and more simplied embodiment of our invention. i

Like reference characters referto like partsv in the diierent gures of the drawings. A f4 The instrument board or panell, positioned in a substantially vertical plane.. has an opening therethrough and at the upper edge of said opening a tongue 2 of metal integra1 with the instru-` ment panel l Vis turned to the rear is shown. The

opening.A is, surrounded by an openirame which has upper and lowerhorizontai sides 3 and d, with vertical .side membersinteg'rally connecting them. From the upper' edge of the lower member 4 inwardly and downwardly curved'supporting shoes 5 are bent which extend through the open ing and are bent downwardly backofv ythe instru# ment panel I. At the lower edge of the upper side 3 of the frame, the metal is yfo-rrnedinto a longitudinal bead 6, vwhich vextends "across the f upper part 'of the openingjan'd back oi the-bead,

preferably, at a. central, point between the sides of the opening, a stop lug'or tang?l is pressed ClOWnwardly. The open frame at its outer'portions is,

reinforced and given an ornamental character vby the beads indicated at B.

A cover plate 9 of sheet metal is secured at itsr front end by spot Welding or `other equivalent securing means to the rearside of the upper side 3 of the open,trarnedescribed.V Said'cover plate is of a curved form and extends downwardlyI and rearwardly back of the panel l.j The plate is provided with'downwardly pressed spaced. apart ribs l0 for reinforcement.' At its forward portion a tonguei Il lis struck upwardly and extended forl wardly to come directlyunderneath the rear portion of the part 2, and through the contacting parts Il and 2 a bolt IZis passedp Other bolts k i3 are passed throughfthe lower side i lof, the frame andthrough the instrument panel I lback of it, so that the open frame with the-connected cover plate 9 is securely connected in a'rigid relation to the instrument panel. l' l The ash receiving receptacle is made of 'sheet metal and, yas shown in Figs. land 2, it has a body with a 4horizontal, bottom I4, vertical iront l5, and a vertical `back I6, Themetalof the back I6 is continued in a forward andl outwardly curved.` direction in a section il,'which, termi'- nates short of the front I5`and carries an open. cup-shaped snuffer i8. Between the snuffer and the back I6, an upwardly projecting stop lug or tang I S is struck .from the section il, as'shown inFig.1. V f

yThe receptacle is completed by2 two sides 20 of sheet metal which are flanged inwardly around their edges as'at 2| to overlap the adjacentbottom and vertical frontv and rear of the body to which they are connected by spot welding to provide a receptacle having an open upper side except where the section partially covers it. The anges 2| at the upper edges of the sides 29 are formed each with two transverse depressions or recesses 22 and 23, the former 'at the front ends of said flanges and the latter at a point between the snuffer and the stop I3.

The vertical front I5 is covered by an ornamental cover plate 24, inwardly flanged at its edges for appearance, strength and reinforcement. A handle at the front side of the cover plate 24 is connected to the receptacle by meansV is provided and extends upwardly toward, but

terminates a short distance below tlie'bottom Ill. A spring member 28 of the form shown lies at the under side of the bottom I and is connected at its rear portion with said bottom I9 by spot-welding or other Vequivalent connection. Thespring member 28 is curved downwardly and forwardly and is then curved upwardly and forwardly substantially in the arcof a circle as at 29, its free forward end reaching nearly to the rear side of the cover plate 211 and extending over theupper end of the tongue 21. The forward curved section 29 of the spring is shaped at its under side to conform to the convex curved upper surface of the supporting shoes 5.

This ash receiving receptacle is inserted through the opening in the instrumentl panel and through the open frame which surrounds such opening in the panel, with the upwardly and forwardly curved portion 29 of the spring 28 `riding upon the shoes V/'hen thus mounted upon the panel the spring 28 has a tendency to move the ash'receptacle in an upward direction and thereupon force the section at its side edge portions, where they come, underneath the upper flanges 2|, against the ribs provided in making the depressions at 23. In such position the stop I9 is slightly below the under side of the cover plate 9. The ash receiving receptacle may be tilted forward as shown in Fig. 3, and it will tilt until the rear stop i9 comes against the forward stop 1.' The extent of movement of the front free end 29'01" the spring member 28 toward the bottom I4, is limited as appears in Figs. 1 and 3, and a mere grasping of the sides of the ash receptacle with a downward pressure thereon which would bring the part 29 l against the bottom I of the' ash receptacle is not sucient to depress the stop I9 below the stop so as to disengage therefrom. Therefore, there will be no inadvertent or accidental disengagement of the ash receptacle from its panel mounting. In order to secure such' disengagement, pressure is applied to the free end of the section I1 or against the upper end of the snuffer I8, to spring the section I 'I in adownward direction a Vsuliicient distance that the stpp I9 will pass under and clear the front stop '1. When this is done the receptacle may be tilted still farther forward and removed from the instrument panel mounting therefor, and any ashes or other refuse therein dumped. The receptacle is then replaced by reversing the process, that is, inserting the rear portion of the receptacle into the opening, bringing the curved section 29 of the spring 28 against theshoes 5, and pushing the receptacle back to its closed vertical position as in Fig. 1. Because of the cooperating inclinations of the stops I9 and said stop I3 will ride freely underneath the stop upon replacement of the receptacle.

It will be apparent that in the closed position of the receptacle, the rib 6 enters the recesses at 22 at the front ends of the upper flanges 2|, and that when the receptacle is tilted outwardly the spring at 28 yields suicientiy for the rib to disengage from said recesses. The upper flanges 2| will ride against the under side of the rib until the recesses at 23 are brought to said rib 6, whereupon the rib will enter the recesses at 23 as shown in Fig. 3. The construction described is of a practical and simple design, readily and easily manufactured at low cost. The movement of the spring 23 away from the bottom I4 is limited by the tongue 2. Therefore, the spring 28 is under tension as it is bent toward the bottom I4 and under tension even when the receptacle is free of its mounting. The spring forces the receptacle-upwardly to cause the flanges at 2| to bear with some pressure against the ribs 6 during the inward and outwardv movements of the tilting receptacle, and insures that at both its open and closed position such receptacle will be yieldingly held against accidental or aimless movement by insuring that the rib 6 will be seated in the recesses 22 or 23. I

In Fig. 6 the open frame is eliminated, and at ythe upper and side edges of the opening in the panel I the metal of the panel is bent to form shoulders 30, while at the upper edge it is continued and pressed downwardly to provide a front stop 3|. The cover plate 32 curved downwardly and rearwardly is secured to the panel by welding or other appropriate means and is formed with front and rear upwardly pressed recess portions 33.

The receptacle has a rear side Sil, a bottom 35 which, a distance back of the iront of the receptacle is turned upwardly in a short vertical section 33 and then curved and extended forwardly in a short horizontal section 3l, then continued vertically to make the front side 38. At the upper edge of the front side 38 the metal from which the body of the receptacle is made is turned backwardly and curved substantially to conform to the curvature of the cover plate 32. It extends over the open upper side in a section. 39 from the upper edge of the front to and over the upper edge of the back 3/4, as shown in Fig. 6. An opening is made in said section 39 for the passage of ashes and other refuse into the receptacle. The sides 29 and the flanges V2| to connect with the bottom and front and rear by spot-welding are the same as in the previously described structure. The snuffel` I3 is located on and carried by the section 39 back of the opening therein, and a stop |9a is struck upwardly from the section 39 back of the snuffel'.

At the rear side of the receptacle rollers d are mounted on vertical brackets 4I which are welded to said rear side 35|. The rollers are adapted to ride against the cover plate 32 and seat in the recesses 33 when at closed or at an outer tilted position at which the stop |9a engages the stop 3|. An ornamental front plate 42, rearwardly anged at its edges at 93, is connected to the front 3B and extends a distance below the bottom 35 of the receptacle and maybe sprung away therefrom a short distance.v Between the plate 42 and the vertical section 36 there is a vertical slot-or recessopen at its lower end. A spring member 44 is spot-welded or otherwise equiv'- Aalently `connected at its rear portion to the back ofk the bottom 35, curved downwardly and forwardlyV as shown and is then extended upwardly 'the rod lll, which lies between the flanged edges '33 of thecover platev and the hooked upper portion 46 ofthe section 45 of spring 44. The distance between the lower-part of the socket 46 f and the flanged edges of the front cover plate forms an entrance opening to the socket which is'of less diameter than the diameter ofthe pivot pin or rod r11, with the sides of the entrance opening or recess formed by the spring 45 on one s ide and the front cover plate on the other side, Aone or` both being yieldable.

tacle is put in place it is insertedso as to receivethe rod at the lower portion of thev passage orY entrance opening between said edges of the flange L13 and the part `45, and the receptacle is forced downwardly with a bending of the spring section to the rear until the hook or socket at 46 is reached, so that there is required some force to connect the receptacle in place with a snapping of the rod into position in the curved n hook d. |The distance between the Lipper side vof the hookvand the lower side of the part 31 of the receptacle thereabove is limited so that l any downward pressure upon the receptacle can.-

net carry'it in a downward directionfar enough to bring the stop E9n. below the lower point of the stop 3l. The spring ,Lid has atendency to lift the lreceptacle and thus p-ress the rollers 46 into contact with the cover plate 32, and causes the rollers to seat in the recesses 33 when they come thereto. No handle is required to operate this receptacle to tilt it outwardly as it can be operated by an inward push of the lower depending portion of the front plate 42. To disengage the receptacle completely lfor removal, a pressure is made upon the plate 3S or thefupper end of the snuler connected thereto to depress the stop 88a. below the stop 3l. It is of course to be understood, and as will appear hereinafter, that the rod 4l extending between the ears 49 may be replaced by two studs, one attached to each of the ears @9, the studs extending toward each other.

fn Fig. 8 the structure bears many similarities to that shown in Fig. 6. The backV 34 is not .integral with the bottom 35 but is a separate piece flanged at its bottom edge 'to embrace and be welded to the bottom 35. The section 36 is closer'to the ornamental frontrconnected to the receptacle. The rollers flare carried by. ears 6l integral with the back 34 and ride against the under sides of reinforcing ribs lila which terminate at both ends short of the endsof the cover plate 32a in which they are formed, so

that at front and rear positions rthe rollers pass.

beyond the ends Vof `the ribs. The stop 3| a is a pin rather than a downwardly struck tang from the lcover plate 32a. The rear end of the -upper member 39 is turned downwardly back of the rear side 3.4 and a tongue 52 is struckfromv the .l

When the recep- 4ci? the bracket 5d.

`back-34 to "pass throughan opening 53 inr the overhead section 39, limitingtheupWa-rd` and 'downward' bending ymovement of the lpart 39.

The front ornamental plate 42a is similar lto the-:plate Y42.' in the previously described struc.- ture but is yieldably connected to the'vreceptacle Yby 'means of pins`42b which, extend therefrom,

the upperv one through the-front 38 offtherre-H y .ceptacle,'and the lower one through the .downeu wardly'extending leg of an angle shaped bracket 54, the horizontal leg of which is spot-welded to the under side of the .bottom 35, thereybeing attachng washers 55 placed over the pins 42h to provide azpermanent connection of the front ornamentahplate.- lThe rodv 4l in Fig. `6, carried by the ears 49, is replaced by two studs4'la, with which the upper hooked ends 46 at the upper ends of arms'` 45 turned from the springs 44 engage, similar to the structure in Fig. 6. A

In this case the socket which receives the pivot pins may be the sainev hooked portion 46 on the spring 45, or `the'socket may be formed in the portions 36 vand 37a, of the front of the receptacle andomit the spring, or it may be formed partly in the receptacleand partly inthe front cover plate flanges, In any case'the entrance opening to the socket will bethe distance between the lower edge of the socket and the normal position of thefront cover plate ilanges, and will be less than the diameter-of the pivot pins, so'that, upon installation the lower part offthefront `plate must be sprung outwardly to permit.- the passage of -the studs 41a between the .flanged edges of the plate and the bottom of the socket.

-This springing away and yielding isrpermitted by an outward yield or bend of the vertical arm l The snapping of .the studs into lplace and-.their retention is` effected the same as before;` The rollers 4i) are-,pressed upwardly against the under side of the coyerplate 32 by the springs 44 in the-same manner.

In. Fig.` 10 a simplification and economy in structure is effected. Therollers 40 are elimi-v hated,v the overhead section 3S does not carry any snuer, and the frontstop is provided Iby the edge of the flange atvv3lb, said ilangebeing integral with theinstrument panel l. The cover plate 32h, similar to the Plate 32a, Ais-a plain platewithout ribs or depressions and thev stopy i912 struck `upwardly from. the member 39 rides frictionally against the under side thereof and comes to the edge of the ange 3H)A when the receptacleis tiltedcutwardlyfto a predetermined position. The ornamental. front plate 56 has a handle at its upper portion l'connected by'a screw 58 which passes through the front 38 of thefreceptacle, the front covering 55 and into said handle so that the vlower depending portion of the front plate 56 has a capacity of being sprung slightly outward to permitthesnapping on engagement v with the studs 4l. 4B in this case bear snugly against the front of The rear sides of the-hooks the section 36, the same as in Fig. 8, requiring that the lower part'of the ornamentalv front' member 55 be sprung 'slightly outward when thereceptacle Vis installed. yIn `this case likewise ay downward movement of the receptacle through inadvertence or` accident is limited so that in nor case willthe upper edge of the stop |9b be brought below the iront stop 3| b unless manually depressed. a

With the `constri'ictio-ns described, the ash receiving receptacles are Avery economically produced, are' certain in their operation,"ar'1da re not liable `to'disengagement'from the `panel on which they are mounted until such disengagementis purposely idone.
